Many years ago I used a high torque starter and I think it was one of these? That was back around 1998 or 1999 or so and it was great. One thing I did find was there were two models for type 4 engines, one for busses and one for 914s as their bellhousings are different sizes and the first one was for a bus (long ?) that jammed the first time I tried it. ORW replaced it for no charge and it was also used for my six when the conversion was completed in 2002. If you get one make sure it will work with 914s specifically though.

From what I remember when we bought mine, the deciding things were the 901 transmission and the distance from the starter mount flange to the flywheel teeth. The number/spacing of the teeth did not seem to matter for some reason? We found that most sixes and six conversions that used the 901 trans and flywheel combo used the same starter as the four cylinder cars??!!
